Volunteers, aid groups, head for Sandy-damaged NYC nabes

NEW YORK — Hundreds of New Yorkers got on buses at City Hall and headed to help people in neighborhoods devastated by Superstorm Sandy.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg showed up Saturday morning to greet the volunteers before they boarded yellow school buses going to Staten Island, the Rockaways and Coney Island.

One volunteer headed out to help was 25-year-old Andy Josuweit (JAW'-zoo-wait).

His home in Manhattan has power and heat, and it would be easy to keep the people suffering in remote flood-damaged neighborhoods "out of sight, out of mind." But Josuweit says he and his friends feel like they need to do something.

The volunteers planned to sort donated goods, go house to house to check up on residents, deliver supplies, and even clean up parks.
